The Dallas Wings have the No. 1 pick for the second straight year.
After selecting Paige Bueckers with the top pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, the Wings will try to pair her with another elite prospect this spring.
This market hasn’t been up for long at the BetMGM online sportsbook, but it has featured plenty of movement at the top. Awa Fam started as a +105 betting favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, but she’s since been passed by UConn sharpshooter Azzi Fudd over the weekend.
Fudd, who is in a relationship with Bueckers, was a -400 favorite as of Sunday after starting with a +125 value last week. Fam fell to +450 on Sunday before the WNBA odds were pulled at BetMGM.
